The aspirations of many Americans these days are straight out of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” — huge homes, new clothes, expensive cars and over-the-top vacations. Trouble is, these people often don’t have the cash to back it up criminalcasehacks.net.

One in 8 Americans is willing to take on $1,000 or more in debt to depict an extravagant lifestyle, according to a study released Monday by the banking app Fintonic.

And the more money one has, the deeper they will delve into the red, the study concluded. One in 10 Americans making $80,000 or more a year are willing to take on more than $5,000 in debt in an attempt to portray their life as luxurious, according to the report, which surveyed over 1,100 adults online in the U.S. in February.

“The increase in both traditional and social media glorifying expensive habits is playing a huge role in believing a luxury lifestyle is attainable, causing many to spend beyond their means and accumulate debt,” said Sergio Chalbaud, CEO and founder of Madrid-based Fintonic. “We are constantly incentivized to act that way.”

Luxury demand is “often driven by social, cultural and fashion trends rather than by mere financial means,” Erwan Rambourg, global co-head of consumer and retail research at HSBC, told CNBC in a recent interview.
